Last Asteroid

Static in the sidewalk cracks
I see you stirring as energy
Synergistic slow-motion
Always certain to evade the ghost
And as you reach stair-steps
And splinter
One billion shards of light and glass
Till they coat the screen
Fade out

Fade in
Key autumnal music
The middle of summer
Leaves loosen, fall
Red, yellow, but habitually
In brown
Feet, off-screen
Crush leaves
One billion pieces
Become liquid
Bleeding into the cement

Junkie spaceman
Alone in rocket ship
Coming down from
Last tick
Time passes
Weeks, months
Shudders
In cold sweat
Shaking hungrily
From withdraw
Stares out window
Porcelain earth
Reaches with finger
Touches
Shatters
One billion pieces
Acerbic
